Overview

The 11th edition of Food Chain is an opportunity to hear from FSQA and cold chain-related engineering teams at food production, food processing and food supply (wholesale and retail) organisations in the GCC region. Presenting in tandem, they bring a unique synthesis of food safety and refrigeration best practices in their respective organisations and map out further areas of possible improvement, which is an opportunity for the cold chain industry to respond through a granular presentation of technological solutions that enable greater energy efficiency, reliability and overall reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO).

Food Chain remains the only event that connects the food industry with the cold chain industry. Whilst it fosters discussions on policy, regulation, enforcement, business and technology (hardware as well as software – digitalisation), it also provides a precious opportunity for focused and dedicated buyer-seller interaction.

Key Sectors

  • Food production houses (meat, dairy, seafood, poultry, fruits & vegetables)
  • Food processing businesses
  • Supermarkets and hypermarkets
  • Fulfilment centres
  • All-pervasive MNC and homegrown restaurant and fast-food chains

Format

As per tradition, Food Chain leans heavily on a vibrant platform buzzing with the multitude of food safety & quality assurance (FSQA) and cold chain stakeholders. Through insightfilled Keynote Sessions, Technical Presentations, Panel Discussions and Structured Audience Engagement, in addition to a vital exhibition track, including walkthroughs and pre-arranged bespoke one-on-one meetings, Food Chain is an exercise in gratification and fulfilment. The proof is in the longevity of the event – a 11th anniversary is quite an extraordinary milestone in these transient times.
